2645 Hwy 18 , Natoma, KS 67651(Rooks County)

This Northwest Kansas hunting ranch encompasses many distinct characteristics that separate it from any other hunting property in the nation. When entering the gates at the only entrance to this property, it is apparent you are driving into something very special. Upon pulling into the drive of the large limestone home and outbuildings at the farmstead on this property, deer rubs can be seen along the creek edge, and turkey tracks are imprinted everywhere on the ground below. Turkeys can typically be seen and heard in the alfalfa fields throughout the day. The heavily wooded Paradise Creek winds through this land for nearly 1 ½ miles providing a large travel corridor and exceptional bedding for the deer. The tree cover expands nearly 350 yards into the flats running along the creek in certain areas. An abandoned railroad ridge creates more timber edge along the creek creating smaller pockets of alfalfa acreage that is nearly fully enclosed by trees. These are perfect hunting plots during deer and turkey season. Fertile bottom crop fields line the timber edges and provide a pallet of beneficial food sources for the many whitetail deer and hundreds of turkeys that call this property home. The seasonal creek provides a steady water source throughout most of the year, and there are also multiple water wells and pond dams on the property. Large thicket and cedar lined bluffs tower over the creek bottom to the South leading into deep timbered cuts and canyons which serve as sanctuaries and escape routes for whitetails pressured from the surrounding creek bottoms. These timbered canyon areas throughout the 500 acres of grass to the south create a safe haven for whitetail deer. This is typically where the mature whitetail bucks bed down in the daytime before making their way to the crop fields and creek bottoms in the evenings. This area along Paradise Creek is well known for trophy whitetail genetics, and QDMA is a strong practice on neighboring properties. Over the years many Boone & Crockett whitetails have graced this area, and a few 180-200+” deer have been harvested in this area in the last few years. This property has all the elements needed to hold, grow, and attract whitetail deer, turkeys, and quail. The sky is the limit when owning a large, contiguous piece of creek bottom, canyons, timbered cuts, food plots, and water in an area like this.

Property Features:

- Located 5 ½ miles west of Natoma; 8 miles east of Plainville along HWY 18

- A very heavily wooded stretch of Paradise Creek winds through the property for over 1 ½ miles

- 63 acres of alfalfa is planted on the South side of the creek timber. Multiple fields of alfalfa are nearly fully encompassed by trees. These pockets are created by the tree cover along the abandoned railroad. These are excellent smaller hunting plots where the deer and turkey feel safe

- Approximately 58 acres north of the creek bottom has been planted to milo or sorghum feed in recent years

- This area of the county featuring Paradise Creek and the large timbered canyons to the south has produced some giant whitetail deer over the years, with multiple bucks harvested in recent years ranging from 180-200+”

- Hundreds of turkeys roost on this property and travel throughout the creek bottom, alfalfa, and milo fields throughout the day. This is one of the best turkey hunting properties I’ve ever stepped foot on.

- Nearly 45 acres of creek bottom timber expands nearly 350 yards in width in a couple areas within the center of the property. This much huntable creek bottom timber is very rare for this part of the state

- Overlooking the creek bottom from the south are several large bluffs lined with thickets, brush, and cedar trees. These bluffs create an incredible view of the creek bottom below and are an excellent vantage point for scanning deer in the alfalfa fields below during firearms season

- The 40 acres furthest to the west features a 5-acre alfalfa field sitting below a wooded canyon that feeds in from the South. This is a perfect area for bow hunting all season long

- A large valley extends south through the center of the towering bluffs and below the timber canyons Within this valley are approximately 45 acres of fertile silt loam soils that could potentially be converted to additional food plots

- Over 500 acres of grass and timbered draws & canyons complete the southern portion of the property. This acreage sits within multiple sections of land and has zero road frontage. In this part of the county, this is where most of the deer bed down before browsing their way to the creek bottoms in the evenings

- Large limestone ranch style home with 2,162 sq.ft. of living space on the main floor w/ a partial basement 6 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Perfect low maintenance camp house or main residence
